Poly[bis(μ-purin-9-ido-κ2N7:N9)zinc]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C5H3N4)2], the ZnII cation is in a nearly regular tetrahedral coordination by purinate ligands. Each purinate ligand chelates two ZnII cations through two imidazole N atoms of the purinate anion ligand, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
